Spain is likely to have an even more fragmented parliament following an election overshadowed by separatist protests in Catalonia
MADRID - Spain held its second parliamentary election this year on Sunday, with voters seen as likely to deliver no clear winner, an even more fragmented parliament and a sizeable boost to the far-right.
Spain has struggled to put stable governments together since 2015, when new parties emerged from the financial crisis following decades during which power oscillated between the Socialists and the PP. But Carmen Queral, a 44-year old primary school teacher, said a strong Vox is precisely what Spain needs. “We need change,” she said after voting at a central Madrid polling station.Voting will end at 8 p.m. in mainland Spain. Results should begin emerging in the early evening, with almost all votes counted by midnight.
Pablo Iglesias, leader of the far-left Unidas Podemos, which had tried and failed to hammer out a coalition government deal with Sanchez, made a new call for a leftist alliance. Sanchez avoided questions on Sunday about a likely political stalemate, only calling on Spaniards to get out and vote.
